"Some of the ancestral waters that made the planet’s oil still exist, like the Gulf of Mexico, while others have long vanished, like the ocean that produced the massive oil fields of the Middle East.

The group discussions were always eye-opening, especially to someone like me prone to hastily judging Christian beliefs; while there have been small disagreements between participants (I once got into a heated back-and-forth about science and the existence of logic), the atmosphere was nothing but respectful. We shared anecdotes about our spirituality or lack thereof, talked about restorative justice, considered alternatives to violence and explored the idea of Jesus as (depending on who you talked to) a historical figure or the son of God.

This is probably more a practice video than a legitimately interesting one, but hope you like anyway. I talk about U2’s latest album, some cool new features on QuakerQuaker and a provocative commentary by Michael Spencer in Christian Science Monitor that I hope Friends will read.
